QotD: Drivin' & Talkin'
Should driving while talking on a cell phone be outlawed?
Submitted by Soup.
This is one of those controversial questions that make people want to egg other peoples houses that don't agree with them. My first thought is to say "No way I have some of my best conversations on the road!" and then I think about how stupid some people are and I ammend that thought to "Only make it against the law for stupid people to talk on their cell phones while driving". I already think they should include an IQ test alongside the test for your License. I don't want to say that I think it should be outlawed (even though my brain tells me it would be a good thing), because I spend a lot of time in my car (family chauffer ftw) and that is where most of my conversations happen.
On the other hand, this whole "outlawing stupide people using phones" could really go somewhere. It would be interesting to see what they would come up with if given the challenge of sorting the stupid people from the not so stupid people. Hehehe *evil thought occurs* they could put an addon in the car (similar to the breathalyzer test for repeating drunken offenders) that would give those deemed legally stupid a jolt when picking up their cell phone when the car is in gear! ROFL!! Can you imagine all the cars pulled over to the side of the road, drivers waving their arms and cursing their cars. *giggles maniacly*
Hmm, perhaps the author of this question did not forsee the places my mind would take this simple question. But where would we be without the "interesting" thinkers of the world. Would be a pretty boring place I imagine without people to come up with reasons to zap people....
